Their great exams should boost your self confidence. You are doing EXCELLENT!!!! Not losing any weight is practically unheard of with OC patients who have completed 22 rads.
Watch yourself with crowds. Your resistance may be low and you do not want to pick up anything from crowds. Hand sanitizer is your new BFF... take it everywhere you go and use often. Avoid anyone who is sick, even a common cold can make you very ill so be cautious when going out.
Keep up the good work and hang in there!!!
